Every Graduate Deserves to Shine!

Help me give my students supplies to decorate their caps and celebrate their graduation!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Colvin's classroom raised $240

This project is fully funded

My Project

Graduation is a huge milestone for our students, and decorating their caps is a fun, creative way to celebrate their hard work and individuality. Unfortunately, many of our students can't afford the supplies needed to personalize their caps.

This project is about more than just art supplies; it's about inclusion, creativity, and pride in reaching a major life goal.

When I mentioned the idea of decorating caps together in class, their eyes lit up with excitement. They loved the thought of expressing their personalities and celebrating their achievements alongside their classmates.

With your support, we can provide paints, rhinestones, fabric markers, stickers, and other craft materials so every student—regardless of financial situation—can take part in this joyful tradition.

Help us give our graduates the chance to shine—literally and figuratively—as they cross the stage!
